Skirmish rules play test

I have been trying a number of different skirmish rules over the last few years for use with my Napoleonics, but so far I've not found anything that worked the way I want it. I find that most of the rules allow to much flexibility for individual action and this slows down the game overall as well as feeling incorrect for the period.

The narrative of the play test can be found on my Frundsberg blog as I used the test as part of a solo campaign I'm fighting (slowly).

About Me

Been wargaming for nearly 50 years. Virtually all my armies are made up of 20mm plastics so don't expect to find any 28mm metal here. I've painted over 25,000 and I've got about 6,000 unpainted and the manufacturers are producing more than ever. Periods, I play almost everything from Ancient Greece to Vietnam
